What to Look For in a Good Robot Vacuum

A good robot vacuum can help you stay on top of pet hair, lint and dust on a daily basis. Many robot vacuums are compatible with applications that let you schedule cleaning times. You can also set virtual boundaries or 'walls,' to ensure that the vacuum is kept away from areas that you don't wish to be cleaned.

This smart vac-mop creates the map of your home with its initial run. It then stores the area to help you with future cleaning tasks. It comes with self-cleaning brush rolls as well as an large dust bin that is empty automatically.

Object Detection

When choosing a robot vacuum cleaner, choose one that can clean up big items such as lamp cords and toys as well as fine dust. This will ensure that they don't get snarled in the roller brush, and don't end up on your floors. This is especially crucial if your robot is going to be regularly cleaned by pets or children.

A model that has an efficient engine and plenty of suction is a good option. This will make it more efficient at getting up pet hair, lint, and dust from your hardwood and carpet floors.

Another factor to consider is the size of your room. If you have a large home, you might want to opt for one with multiple cleaning zones that can clean your entire house in a single session. Certain models have mopping features that can be utilized to keep floors clean and fresh.

Robot vacuums can last a long time however, they must be maintained and cleaned regularly. Cleaning the rotating brushes regularly and emptying your dust bin, and wiping the sensors will keep your robot running smoothly for a long time. Many robot vacuum owners we speak to have been using their machines for 10 years or more (and have replaced brushes, motors, and batteries with time).

A basic robot Vacuum That vacuums and mops is less costly than a larger vacuum cleaner. They will still do an excellent job of cleaning dirt from surfaces pet fur, lint and other debris. They're a great maintenance cleaner that you can use several times a week to keep your floor tidy. The downside is they don't come with as advanced technology, and could be susceptible to becoming stuck or needing human intervention.

Object Avoidance

The most effective robot vacuums utilize sensors, cameras or lasers to navigate your home and avoid getting stuck or falling on the stairs. They can also avoid obstacles like furniture legs and cords, and some models can automatically return to their dock or base when they run low on power. Some of the most expensive models come with the ability to map, which allows them to remember your home's layout and spend less time bouncing off walls.

You don't have to spend an enormous amount of money on the most expensive robotic vacuums. There are models that do a fantastic job of picking up pet hair and dirt from hard surfaces like tiles, wood and low-pile rugs. They also do a decent job of handling larger objects such as metal screws or staples that have rust, or the remains of toys. Some even come with self-emptying bases which is helpful if you don't want to empty the dustbin after every cleaning run.

Many robotic vacuums also come with advanced features that make your ordinary stick vacuum appear old-fashioned, including scheduling, zone targeting, and the ability to control them via an app or voice assistant like Alexa. You can also create cleaning zones and virtual walls to block off areas you don't wish the robot to enter.

Some robotic vacuums, such as the Eufy 11S or my former top choice, Roborock S8, come with obstacle avoidance technology that will prevent them from tripping over furniture or cords. Certain robot vacuums, such as the iRobot Roomba j7+ have more sophisticated AI obstacle-avoidance technology which uses a camera, processors and smarts to avoid items like lamp cords and pet waste. It's a little more expensive than the other bots I've tried, however, it did a fantastic job of avoiding obstacles within my home. It also didn't get derailed or trapped when I was working on my flooring.

The J7+ from irobot vacuum and mop was a great obstacle-avoiding robot however it didn't always do a good job at avoiding dirt or crumbs on my rugs. It also was prone to over-vacuum certain areas, resulting in dust accumulating in the filters and a less clean house.

Smart Mapping

The best robot vacuums come with an app that helps you to customize cleaning settings, set schedules and see the area of floor that the machine covers. This is a very useful feature that some competitors don't have. This allows you to create profiles which will automatically start the robot at certain times and continue to run continuously. For example, it could be cleaning the living area every day or before dinner.

A good app will also allow you to control your robot with voice commands. Some models are compatible with Amazon's Alexa or Google Assistant and can work entirely hands-free, meaning you can say "start cleaning" or "change cleaning mode" without having to use the app.

For a truly hands-free experience, look for models with a large dust bin that can withstand many cleaning sessions before needing to be empty. There are models that self-empty, which eliminates the need to empty the machine after every time you vacuum.

If you want a robot that can do more than simply vacuum, you'll need to consider one which can mop your floors. These are usually larger than robotic vacuums and have a water tank that can hold multiple cleaning sessions worth of dirt and dust before having to be emptied.

Robots that are more sophisticated can create their own maps, and can remember the arrangement of your home from one cleaning session to the next, which prevents them from getting lost or stuck. This can make a significant difference in the speed at which your robot vacuums, since it won't have to spend time returning to the beginning of the room if it comes into contact with walls or furniture.

Our testers who used the robot that has this feature discovered it to be extremely efficient, and they could comfortably watch TV or complete other chores while the robot cleaned. Some models employ laser navigation to create an outline of your home. You can program them to clean your bedroom after dinner, or throughout the house when you're at work.

App Control

It is best to select the vacuum that comes with a mobile application in case you wish to alter the frequency of cleaning and select the cleaning mode. In the app, you can also monitor the condition of your vacuum as well as its dust bin. Some of the best robotic vacuums can be controlled by Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri Shortcuts.

It is simple to maintain a robot that has a washable filter and a self-emptying container, particularly when the filter is easily cleaned and washed. Another excellent feature is a powerful brush that gets into corners and along baseboards which makes it easier to get rid of hair and dirt. Certain robots are better in avoiding chair leg splinters than others. Others have a sensor that automatically cleans brushes to prevent obstruction.

Some robo-vacs have navigation tools that help them navigate around obstacles and help you understand your home. High-end models are equipped with sensors and cameras that can detect obstacles such as furniture, stairs and cords, whereas cheaper models sometimes utilize boundary strips that you place on the floor to mark off areas you don't want it to go. Object avoidance can be especially useful for families with young kids who throw socks and toys around the house. This helps your robot to gather these items, instead of scattering them.

Robots are increasingly equipped with mop heads. This is beneficial for those with hard floors who need to clean regularly. They have a water reservoir built into their chassis or as a separate piece that you swap in when they're ready to mop. They may need to be filled more frequently than other kinds of robots, however they're great for homes with hard floors that can't be easily cleaned by vacuum.

These robots come with impressive technology, and they cost significantly less than you would expect. You can get a good one for under $200. It can do a decent job of cleaning on hard floors and can be scoured around the edges of carpets and area carpets. It is possible to schedule the robot to clean rooms regularly and it can be controlled remotely using the app or by pressing buttons on its side.
